What is Star of the Week?

Each child has the opportunity to be the Star of the Week.  A detailed letter 
will be sent home the week before.  Attached to the letter wil be some 
questions about your child.  These answers and 5-10 pictures of your child 
should be sent in no later than Monday of their special week.  Your child is 
to bring in 3-5 items to share with the class on Wednesday.  On Wednesday 
the class will be asked to write about your child.  A book with these 
writing pieces will be sent home on Friday.

What do I do if I forget to send in a bus note?

Due to safety concerns and as stated in the parent handbook, if a child does 
not have a note in the morning, he/she will need to take their regular bus 
home.  This rule is only waived in emergency situations.

What do I do if I know my child will be absent?

PLEASE notify the office.  Leave a message or write a note that is to be sent 
to the main office before your child's scheduled absence.  Teachers are not 
required to prepare work that will be missed ahead of time, but we will work 
to ensure that your child makes up important work when he/she returns.
